A former media aide to former Minister of Labour and Productivity and ex-Anambra State Governor Chris Ngige has claimed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission may charge him to court following his arrest in Abuja.
Fred Chukwuelobe, Ngige’s aide, in a statement on Facebook today, said that about 20 operatives from the EFCC’s Wuse II Zonal Office stormed the former minister’s residence on Justice Mohammed Bello Road, Asokoro, on Tuesday. He alleged that Ngige was “whisked away” without being allowed to change out of his pyjamas.
Ngige was reportedly on an administrative bail after an earlier EFCC invitation, during which he was questioned for undisclosed reasons. According to the statement, he had been in contact with investigators and complied with instructions, including returning his travel documents.
